All-season passenger tire Hankook RH06 Ventus ST of the world-famous South Korean manufacturer is designed for powerful vehicles with increased passability. The tire has high speed indexes "V" — up to 240 km/h and "W" — up to 270 km/h.
The design of the directional V-shaped tread pattern of the tire has a pronounced aggressive appearance. The tire tread contains a large number of water-discharging channels of curved shape, starting in the central zone of the tread and ending on the sidewalls. This solution made it possible to achieve high efficiency of water removal from the tire's contact patch, which significantly improved traction on wet surfaces even at high speeds. Additionally, to improve traction characteristics on wet surfaces without compromising the stiffness of the tread elements, the Hankook RH06 Ventus ST tire pattern contains a large number of lamellas.
The V-shaped tread pattern made it possible to maximize the area of the tire's contact patch with the surface while maintaining other basic working properties of the tire, which ensured excellent traction on dry surfaces and also contributed to improved braking characteristics. It is also worth noting that this type of tread pattern is characterized by low rolling resistance, which affects fuel efficiency indicators.
The addition of innovative components to the tire's rubber compound, including silica, has given this tire excellent traction, low noise levels, and high wear resistance.
